Do Now

1. Do Now Take the following notes in preparation for bellwork. There are three major types of puns: Homophonic puns use word pairs which sound alike (homophones) but are NOT spelled the same nor mean the same. Example: Why do we still have troops in Germany? To keep the Russians in Czech. Homographic punsuse words which are spelled the same (homographs) but possess different meanings and sounds. Example: How did Katniss impress the sponsors? By taking a bow. Homonymic puns use words that are both homographs and homophones; they’re spelled and sound the same, but have different meanings. Example: Why do cows wear bells? Their horns don’t work.

2. New Classroom Routines This week I will be implementing the following new routines. • Weekly Work: any and all bellwork, practice, and other classwork that is not taken up. This is taken up each week and counts as a classwork grade (20%), but does not preclude other graded classwork assignments. Remember to head each entry in your Weekly Work with a date and title. • Class Participation: a participation grade (20%) will now be submitted every week for each student based on the rubric distributed. Please look over this rubric, as you are expected to perform accordingly. • Visual Cues: icons representing student expectations will be provided throughout class. = Don’t talk. = Raise hand to speak. = Write. =Speak openly. = Work together quietly.

3. While we’re on the subject… Some of us need to be reminded of a few classroom policies and expectations. • Do NOT eat or drink in my classroom. • Do NOT put your head down, EVEN if you aren’t asleep.

4. 3. Don’t use electronic devices without explicit permission. 4. Stay focused and track the speaker, whoever it may be. Failure to meet these expectations will result in consequences.

21. Pre-AP and Eng III Honors • Move into your Expert group (number group) at this time. • Each group will receive an assignment on a different aspect of the novel (plot, characters, settings, symbols etc.). Collaborate to complete this assignment thoroughly. • After this part of the activity, students will return to their Home groups where each member will present the conclusions made in their Expert group.

22. Pre-AP and Eng III Honors • Back in Home Groups, each member must present the insights and conclusions discussed in each Expert Group (12 minutes). • Your Home Group needs to absorb this information and brainstorm to compose a complex thesis statement, synthesizing the presented ideas into an overall thematic lesson from the text (5 minutes). • ...wut? • Now, let’s have a hand’s free, whole-group discussion about these ideas. Let’s circle up and use “accountable talk.”
